tions which might bemade.

What Iclaim las my 'nvention isi- 1. In a lamp the combinationgwitha casing having an inwardly-extending 'annular'V gilange, of a reiector having an outwardl e extending annular iiange arranged over t e fiange of the casing, means for securing the two annular flangcstogethe, and a ydoor including a transparent panel', said reiiector being provided at the outer endthereof with I ably holding said ianel and a seat for 'said and has av shouldered vand lugsaiponv the 'the casing with which said lugs havea de an annular bead arranged within and projecting iange of tlie'reiector and said bead project# ing'into proximity to the transparent panel.

2. In a lamp. the combination with vvacasing, of a -door therefor', interlocking inem-v bers inclosed by the door and casing and car' ried respectively thereby, means for yieldinterlockin engagement, said door including a 'transparent panel anda seat against which said panel is pressed by said yielding means.

3; In .a lamp the combination with a casbeyoncl the outwardly-extending' members in ing, of a reector arranged within the casing, l

a door for the latter, resilient means between lthe casing and re'iector, and interlocking members upon the door and casing arranged within said casing. i

4. In a lamp t e combination with a casing provided with a ange, of a relector arranged in and carried by the casing and' having a iange extending in operative relatio-nto the ange 'of' thecasing, and yielding means interposed between said flanges.

5; 'In a' lamp the. combination with a casing provided with a liangaof a reflector arranged in the casing and having a flange vextending inbperative relation to the iange of the casing, yielding means interposed between said rianges, and a detachable interlocking engagement between the flanges.

(i. In a lamp the combination 'with a casing, of a refiectorarranged in and carried by the lcasingga door including a transparent panel, said re- Hector being provided with a bearing portion adapted to press the transparentpanel against its seat, and yielding, means actingv upon said reflector.

7. In' a lamp the combinaticnwith a casing,vor` arefleetor arranged therein, a doorv 'for the casing, means tor yieldably pressing member interposed between the reflector an the panel. 8. A door haying a toits seat, and detachable interlocking meinbers upon said. member and the casing adaptmeiit thereof.

for a lamp, comprising a casing seat, a transparent panel engaging' said seat, a member for securing said panelA the reflector toward the door, the latter i'n- .eluding a transparent panel, and la packin 9. A door ior a lamp, comprising a i having a seat,

i ,the-seat, a ring for securing the panel to its seat, a resilient packing carried by said ring, latter, there being slots in tacliable interlockin engagement.

10. lA door for a amp, comprising a casing havin a seat, a transparent' panel engaging said seat, a ring for securing the panel'A to its seat, and arms upon the ring,'

a transparent panel engaging I ed to .be engaged byva relative rotary-,moveincase? there being slots in the easing with which said arms have a detachable interlocking engagement.

ll. In a lamp the combination with a casing, of a door, a reflector arranged in the casing, inter-engaging members upon the casing and reflector, means acting to yieldably press the rellector toward the door, the latter including a transparent panel and coinpressible material interposed between the reflector and the door.

l2. In a lamp the combination with a casing, of a door, a reflector arranged in the casing and carried thereby, said reflector being adapted to move longitudinally ot the casing, and means interposed between the reflector and casing for yieldably pressing the reflector toward the door, the latter including a transparent panel and a compressible material interposed between the reflector and the door.

13. In a lamp the combination with a casing provided with a flange, ot-a reflector arranged in and carried by the casing and movable longitudinally thereof, means for yieldably pressing the reflector outward, and means for limiting the outward movement of the reflector.

14. In a lamp the combination with a eas ing provided with a flange, of a reflector ar ranged in the casing and having a flange extending in operative relation to the flange of the casing, yielding means acting to press the reflector outward, and means carried by one of said flanges engaging. the other flange for limiting the outward movement of the reflector.

15. In. a lamp the combination with a casing provided with a flange, of a reflector arranged in the casing and having a `flange extending in operative relation to the flange ot' thecasing, a headed member carried by one of said Hanges, the other of said flanges being provided with a bayonet slot for engaging the headed member. and yielding y means interposed between said llanges.

16. In a lamp the combination with a casing, of a rellector arranged therein and carn .ried thereby, yielding means interposed between the casing and reflector, a door in cluding a transparent panel and a seat against which said panel is pressed by said yielding means, and interlocking members in the door and casing held in engagement by said yielding means.

17. In a lamp the combination with a casing provided with a flange, of a reflector arranged in the casing and having a flange extending in operative relation to the ange ot' the easing, a plurality of spaced headed members carried by one of said llanges, the other of said flanges being provided with bayonet slots for engaging the headed. niemebers, and yielding means interposed between said flanges.

18. Ina lamp the combination with a casing provided with a flange, of a reflector arranged in the casing and having a flange extending in operative relation to the `tlange of the casing, a plurality of spaced headed members carried by one of said flanges, the other of said flanges being provided with bayonet slots for engaging the headed members, yielding means interposed between said flanges, and means for preventingrelative rotation between the casing and retlector.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
